Interpolated values of Blue carbon storage expressed in USD in waters around the Falkland Islands

The dataset is a raster file which depicts interpolated values of Blue carbon storage expressed in USD per m2 across the Falklands. The Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation method has been used and the results of the study have been published in the report Giant kelp ‘Blue carbon’ storage and sequestration value in the Falkland Islands. (Bayley et al. 2017)

Lineage The values of the raster file are only applicable to kelp distribution mask (created from GoogleEarth digitised imagery of kelp). The interpolation was based on the Inverse Distance Weighting and the input data were attributes in the column USD_m2 of the Kelp_value shape file or Macrocystis csv file(FK-SAERI-578).
